TOGETHER, WE’LL PARTNER TO design a customized leadership development experience that is thoughtful, relevant, and culturally-aligned to your organization.
This isn’t a one and done “training”. Through an ongoing partnership, it’s a way of developing leaders across your organization and creating lasting impact and sustainable positive change.
Most of the organizations I partner with are high growth organizations led by forward-looking executives who know that in order to continue to grow a thriving and impactful company, we also need to grow the leadership capacity of the organization. Specifically, these organizations are considering:
How do we grow and develop our next generation of leaders?
Who will lead the company in its next era?
In this time of sustained growth, how can we step back to ensure we’re developing in the people who are making this growth possible?
How can we create a high-performing, dynamic organization - at all levels of our company?
LEADERSHIP IS ESSENTIAL TO THE overall culture, health, and performance of AN ORGANIZATION.
We often identify leaders as those who have achieved great results in the past. Interestingly, research has found that effectiveness in one’s job does not necessarily correlate to effectiveness as a manager.
Many of us have likely observed this to be true – whether in ourselves, or in those around us.
Without coaching, development, and tactical tools, it is incredibly hard for leaders across our organizations to maximize their impact as leaders, or to maximize their impact on behalf of the organization. Without effective leaders, our organizations will not thrive.
According to research from Gallup, managers account for 70% of the variance in employee engagement.
Yet oftentimes, we promote new leaders with little or no coaching and development about how to be successful in these new roles.
Together, we’ll identify the needs of your organization and your leaders and design a program that best meets these needs.
My approach is rooted in self-awareness and self-discovery and has been informed by my time working as a team member; an executive; and a strategic partner in the corporate world. It blends leading research and best practices from the fields of leadership, human development, coaching, mindfulness, and relationship systems with lots of hands-on implementation and experimentation.
Our work together is laser focused on your needs and the needs of the humans who will be involved.
Taking the time and spending the money to develop your leaders is an investment that will have a positive ripple effect not only on the people involved in the program, but on their teams, projects, and clients.
“I just completed a leadership training program through my organization and I can honestly say, this is one of the best professional development training programs I have ever been a part of. The program was very thoughtfully designed and was very dynamic and engaging, challenging the participants to expand their knowledge and leadership.”

A licensing structure that allows you to run these programs in-house
Leadership development can ensure that your company is ready for the future. It can also:
Increase your company’s overall leadership capacity, creating a leadership pipeline
Create a positive ripple effect across your company, including more effective teams and happier employees;
Help your leaders figure out what their leadership style, gifts, and blind spots are;
Make your leaders more confident and effective in their roles; and
Allow your leaders to walk away knowing a whole lot more about who they are and how they can best serve in the world.
There are always certain considerations that go along with the work your leaders actually do, which is why customizing your leadership development experience is so important.
The process starts with a conversation. For some clients, this conversation leads to a 10-month program that we implement for cohorts of leaders across the organization. For others, it’s a quarterly boot camp for evolving leaders. And for others, it’s a tiered program with different offerings for executives, managers, and new leaders.

“The experience was wonderful and I would highly recommend it. Sarah was very engaging. I felt that it was a great time for self reflection and growth. While we had many take-aways and strategies we can use, the program wasn’t a “one size fits all.” By that, I mean that each participant was able to take away different aspects to help strengthen their leadership skillset.”
